Forums - Sony - Leak Alert: New ps3 model to be shipped by end of september!

Great for Sony, and great for people waiting for a price drop.... but still, that is one ugly piece of kit.

Firs leaked images always look bad. Remember, that was the original PS3 slim:

Now, this mock-up looks a lot better don't you think?

Sony picked a rather complicated date to release this thing, with the upcoming Wii U which (like it or not) will most likely overshadowed this new model. If they released this thing by the end of September they have all October and mid November to get the most out of those sales and obviously after all the hype for the Wii U ends.

But this is still great news for me since I've planned to get a PS3 by the end of next year, the cheaper and smaller the better.

So we're going to have another "Just brought a PS3 recommend me some games" thread XD



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

I"m sure anybody that wants a ps3 has already gotten one at this point. I guess it's cool,it you don't like to get gaming system's 6 yrs after they come out.

People say that, but price drops and redesigns always, always cause a surge in sales.  There will always be people who have an upper limit on what they will pay for a console, or for a second console, and price drops often move these people to act.  



Sales explosion this late... lol

Wii U will own this holidays, Xbox will be 2nd and Ps3 will be 3rd, with or without price cut.

If Sony Price Cuts Microsoft will do the same so it will be the same.

But good news Wii U will have competition but they will still own this holidays, never understimate Nintendo, they are Gods.

What is anyone going to do with a 16gb PS3?

I had nothing to do with a 120GB and I bought it just to put a Momentus XT HDD.

I threw away the 120GB HDD.



Why do the console's get uglier each time. Sony needs an entry level PS4 to compete next gen as MS picked up a big share of the market having a cheap arcade model for years, that needed a hard drive and a wireless attachment. They couldn't match cause the abilty to use a 3rd party hard drive. Sadly I doubt we will ever see this option again.

That seems kind of... sudden.

MS launch their slim model in the middle of E3 with no leaks, no rumors, no nothing... out of thin air...
Sony (sadly) has leaks, rumors, pics, prices... all, months before launch...

its everything but sudden...

Your memory isn't so great. Either that or it's a bit selective.

Just about every major gaming website had an article on the 360 slim prior to its official reveal at E3. There were leaked images and everything.

i do remember the motherboard rumors, but slim was a wild guess by the media and i never saw any photos before the MS conference.
there was hope for the price cut but no evidence anywhere... i think MS did a better job than Sony is doing now... but maybe they want this... rumors are publicity and that is never bad. even bad publicity is good publicity...

A wild guess picked up by numerous sources that turned out to be completely true? I don't think so. Either way your original post was totally wrong.

As for one of the two doing a better job, I think it's a pretty well established fact that at this point Sony is a leaky ship, almost everything gets out. (Although they did manage to keep TLOU a secret, rare in this day and age for Sony.)
